Backlog Age
Operational metrics expose bottlenecks, handoff failures, and reliability issues that quietly slow execution. Improving Backlog Age requires visibility into drivers, early warnings when it drifts, and playbooks that turn insight into action. ElasticFlow connects your existing tools, tracks the drivers behind Backlog Age, and triggers playbooks that improve it—not just dashboards.
